Can candida on the face be contagious?i recently went to get a facial. the woman who gave me a facial told me she had (currently might have)candida.

Not really: Candida doesn't really infect the face; if you are immunocompromised or have been on antibiotics, you can develop an infection in your mouth/throat, but the skin of the face isn't a spot to really be concerned about.
